When This Runs Short, Watch Out!
 by Chris Martenson

There’s one thing that I think might cause a breakdown in the system of money and halt the economic expansion in its tracks.  Come to learn about the critical importance of Net Energy, stay for the prediction about how an oil shortage within the next year could cause the gross experiment in money printing to come to a grinding halt.

My definition of an ALERT is when I encounter information that changes my actions.  I am now personally accelerating purchases, especially of mission-critical computer and other chip-based equipment.  I am now at a point where my farming needs and other household purchases are going to be accelerated based on the constellation of shortages that are now apparent.

Money manager Eric Hickman is a number-cruncher who’s also a student of history. 

And looking at the past 100 years of market data, he’s forced to conclude that the stock market is due for a whopper of a correction — one that could happen at any moment…

Inflation Or Deflation? Here’s How It Will All End

Highly-respected market researcher Luke Gromen concludes that we’re living in a unique period of history given that we currently facing three massive threats:

  • the first bursting global sovereign debt bubble in over 100 years
  • the first time in 50+ years that foreign central banks are no longer financing the US economy (i.e., they have stopped growing their holdings of US Treasurys)
  • the US’ long-standing “petrodollar” advantage is eroding as other countries increasingly strike deals to trade key commodities in non-USD currencies

As these challenges mount, how will they resolve?

In 2008 I created The Crash Course.  If you haven’t seen it, well, you really should.  It’s both very outdated and still spot on.

In it I made the case that by looking through a resource lens we could come to this conclusion:  The next twenty years are going to be completely unlike the past twenty years.

There are lots of ways to look at the world – geopolitically, spiritually, ecologically – but I’ve found that resources have both power predictive and explanatory powers.

Now that we’re more than half-way through that 20-year period it’s fair to ask how the Crash Course predictions have held up.

The record reveals that…

A Market Crash AND High Inflation?
 by Adam Taggart

Imagine for a moment that the price of all your investments — your stocks, your retirement portfolio, your house — suddenly drop in half this year. Now imagine that on top of that inflation suddenly picks up, making your cost of living skyrocket.

That would be pretty awful, right?

Well, this might not be just some theoretical thought exercise.

Highly respected financial researcher Jesse Felder warns us that these twin dangers of a market crash and higher inflation actually could indeed happen in the near future.

If you’re concerned about the overreach of government in juicing asset prices to dangerous levels, picking economic winner and losers, and constraining our personal freedoms — you have very good right to be.

So says lifelong champion of free markets, sound money and civil liberty, former US Congressman Dr Ron Paul.

 Daily Take (9/27/23): Gold, Silver, 10-Year Rates & Oil Are Telling Us Something
AUDIO for 9-27-23: What Are Gold and Oil Telling Us? Something is about to break. The warning signs are everywhere in the markets right now. One of the warning signs for me is when “they” break out the rescue operations which consist of violent buying programs for stocks and equally violent selling programs for gold and silver.
